VNC software for two local machines
I am looking for a software based on VNC I saw about two years ago but I forgot its name. It is a very interesting VNC software. Instead of helping users to access a remote machine from local (home) machine, that software helps users use two local machines in a very natural way. User will see monitors of both machines and users can move the mouse and focus from one monitor the the other one as if both monitors are connected to a dual-head display card in one machine. In this way, user can use one keyboard and one mouse to control two machines without the trouble of using Alt-Tab to switch between remote desktop and local desktop. Anyone here knows this software?

Re: Re: Who can help me...?
Hi Joe! Thanks for your quick response! The first item sounds really good, because the error message (Page can not be displayed) I know, if a page can't be reached (normally blocked by a firewall).. I'm using the free Version of Outpost Firewall and VNC is marked there as a trusted application. But XP offers a Firewall and maybe this one is active, too?? I'll check it next! I know, I'm not at a XP-Newsgroup (sorry), but perhaps do you know how to deactivate the XP-Firewall?

Re: Re: Who can help me...?
Chris, if you've done all the correct port forwarding and have everything else setup.. the only 2 things i can think of are 1) XP firewall or some other firewall app is blocking the connection 2) (not sure but maybe) I think vnc's http app runs on java i've only used it a few times and it worked so I don't know if this is legit answermaybe get the latest java updates and make sure ie allows the java plugins to run...

Wez: A fair point: I should more accurately say that with the echoServer approach, *most* end users will not have to make any firewall adjustments.

RE: Kaboodle 0.99d and VNC
Wez: Heya. Yes: with no ports enabled/forwarded, two Kaboodle users can VNC and file-transfer with each other. As for what it implies about the firewalls...that's a very big "it depends". Kaboodle uses the open-source echoWare.DLL to establish a long-term TCP connection with an echoServer called KaboodleProxy that acts as a "relay" between Kaboodle clients. So if the firewall is smart enough to block an echoWare to echoServer connection, then of course it won't work. But consumer-grade firewall/routers like LinkSys and Netgear products aren't that smart: by default, they will allow out any outbound connections. And since the echoServer owner can run that server on any port they want (443, for example), the connection will be passed on most commercial-grade firewalls -- with their out of the box configuration -- as well. With the echoWare/echoServer approach, all of the traffic looks like it's "outgoing", from the perspective of the firewall. Which is, of course, the same approach that VNC's "add client" and SSH's "reverse tunnels" have been utilizing for years. cheers, Scott On Mon, 8 Nov 2004, James Weatherall wrote: Heyaz.

RE: Allow Host name instead op ip in acces list
Lennard, Filtering based on host name is tricky, because the "efficient" way to do it involves a reverse-DNS lookup on the IP address of the incoming connection. With dynamic DNS services, though, this won't actually resolve to the "correct" name, so it won't work. The other key point to remember is that Hosts-based filtering is primarily used so that unknown hosts can't attack your machine, because the server will drop connections from them without processing them. This protection is less useful if their attempt to connect causes your server to spend resources looking up DNS names, and is completely useless if they manage to compromise your dynamic-DNS address... :) Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > I would like to acces my vnc server, which has a static ip, > from home where i have a dynamic ip.

No really. :) Through two *completely* closed firewalls, i.e. with no ports enabled/forwarded? Doesn't that imply that the firewalls really aren't doing a very good job? ;) Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Connections refused
"Connection refused" means that there is nothing listening on the specified network port on the server machine. Are you sure you are specifying the correct display number to VNC Viewer?

RE: Port forwarding?
Angelo, That's upside-down thinking, in that if UPnP is present then the security risk is there - not using it to make it easier to use a particular program simply means that user's gain no benefit from it, even though they still have the extra risk!

RE: VNC drops after ppp connection
Huey, The most likely cause of this problem is that you have misconfigured the PPP connection at the first XP machine to be tagged as an Internet connection, so that the first XP machine tries to use it for all Internet traffic (including the VNC traffic back to the 2K machine) and so sends it to the wrong place...

Xxxx will only be 0 if you have left VNC running on the default ports (5900 and 5800). Since you have changed them to 5955 and 5855, you will need to use :55 or :5955, which are equivalent for VNC. As for the address, 192.168.0.1 is a LAN-only address, inaccessible via the Internet. It's also normally the address used by your LAN's router/switch if you have one. > P.S.: still doesn't understand how to reply a message w/o > opening a new thread :/null Just use "Reply To All" to reply to the original poster & to the list.

RE: Multi-display VNC?
Ron, At the present time, only VNC Enterprise Edition supports remoting of individual displays in multi-monitor systems, via addition of a REG_SZ DisplayDevice registry entry, set to the device name to remote e.g. \\.\DISPLAY1.
